Mike Yastrzemski was a good, power hitting rookie outfielder for the (checks notes) San Francisco Giants?

.272/.334/.518, 21 HR, 64 RBI, 2 SB, 121 wRC+, 2.2 fWAR

Tyler Herb had a 9.95 ERA in his first three starts for the AA Bowie Baysox this year, but the Baltimore Orioles being the Baltimore Orioles, they promoted him to AAA Norfolk anyway. Maybe they just saw him as roster filler, or maybe they liked his 14 strikeouts and only 4 walks in 12.2 innings, or maybe they just needed another pitcher in Norfolk to address whatever depth issues arose, but they ignored the 14 earned runs (16 total runs) in those almost 13 innings, and up he went, making his first start in the International League on April 28.
